Well, he suspects something is up the moment he sees his first demon, but he doesn't think it's because he's part demon until he meets Dante. :)

Yeah, I'd have to agree with you on the hot-headed character comment. I've been trying my best (and it's very hard!) to not flesh out the personalities and motivations of the characters I invented. I'm not sure what other people on the dev team might want, or if there is another character already in production that would be a perfect fit, or so forth. If this does get picked up by Capcom, (and it won't, but I can dream,) it's going to end up being a colaborative effort, and if my job is writing story, then that's what I'm going to stick to!

Of course, I can still imagine how I'd like them to turn out. I imagine Python as being "bored" with the demon world, and rather aloof. He'd have a dry, disinterested sense of humor, more like Alfred than Batman or Joker, (if that makes sense?) Of course he's in this for himself; but he's a snake, and he's sly enough to make it seem like he's not. Django I see as being more knightly than hot-headed. He fights because he feels it's his duty to protect others, but he does have anger issues from growing up in foster homes. He doesn't defy authority, either; he goes through the court process without incident and is a model inmante.

As for the Dante-Vergil switch, well, maybe Vergil wouldn't fight Arius, but that's assuming he didn't learn anything during his imprisonment in hell. I'm imagining a world where Vergil finally sees the problem with trying to rule over the world, and he's now trying to carve a new identity for himself, basically going through the teenage angst period that Dante got out of his system in DMC3. I'm not sure there's enough content for another game explaining his change of heart, but there could certainly be a manga, novel, or even a CGI movie--lots of games are doing movies now. I'd like to see a movie starring Vergil! Hell, maybe they can explain Nero while they're at it! Lolz!
